Walmart brings Vudu to iPad

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Walmart announced that its video-on-demand service Vudu is now available for the iPad.

iPad users can go to Vudu.com and browse through Vudu's entertainment content library, which includes more than 20,000 blockbusters, Hollywood classics, independent films and TV episodes, then rent or purchase and watch them instantly. For one touch access to Vudu, customers can add a Vudu icon to their iPad desktops by clicking the "Add to Home Screen" button when on Vudu.com.

"At Walmart, one of our key priorities is to provide one continuous experience for our customers to interact with our brand — whether that is in stores, online or from their mobile devices," said Edward Lichty, general manager, Vudu. "Vudu's launch on the iPad plays into that vision as we're committed to offering the Vudu experience on as many devices as possible so customers can shop for and access their favorite movies and TV shows however they want, whenever they want."
